However, we use over-ear (or DPA) microphones, which are small microphones which fit around your ear, attached to a “beltpack” (which contains a battery and transmitter) via a cable. Because of this:

* You need somewhere to put the “beltpack”, like a belt or a pocket. **This is particularly important if you’re wearing a dress or skirt or an outfit without pockets.**
* You need somewhere on your chest that you can clip the microphone to. (T-shirts are usually fine, as is the collar or lapel of most other garments.)
* You need to be able to put on and take off the microphone comfortably in public. (We can route the cable over or under clothing, and you can put the microphone on yourself with our AV team’s guidance, but we don’t have dressing rooms for you to “mic up” in.)
